BrioHR Data Backup and Recovery Policy: Ensuring HR Data Security

BrioHR protects HR data with secure backup and recovery measures. Learn how BrioHR ensures compliance, resilience, and peace of mind.

BrioHR is a secure cloud-based HR software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). As a multi-tenant SaaS application, data protection, backup, and recovery are critical to ensuring uninterrupted HR operations and compliance. This article outlines how BrioHR safeguards employee data through daily backups, secure storage, and reliable recovery protocols.

Data Backup Policy

How often is data backed up?

BrioHR performs daily backups, four times per day, of all data in MongoDB format to ensure comprehensive data protection. BrioHR also employs a two-tiered backup strategy to ensure maximum data protection and recovery flexibility:

  • Continuous Cloud Backups: We perform continuous backups with WAL archiving every minute. This enables Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR), allowing for granular data restoration to any specific moment in time.
  • Scheduled Snapshots: We take full database snapshots on a defined schedule for comprehensive data restoration. This includes:
    • Daily backups, retained for 30 days.
    • Weekly backups, retained for 52 weeks.

What database does BrioHR use?

BrioHR operates on MongoDB, a flexible and scalable database designed to handle high-volume HR data efficiently.

How many sets of backups does BrioHR have?

BrioHR maintains one set of backup stored across multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZs) to ensure redundancy and resilience.

Cloud Hosting and Security

Which cloud service provider does BrioHR use?

BrioHR is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a global leader in cloud security and compliance.

Where are BrioHR’s off-site locations?

All data is physically stored in Singapore, within AWS data centers. Data is synchronized across three separate availability zones, meaning that if one data center experiences downtime, another automatically takes over without disrupting service.

Data Recovery Policy

  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 30 minutes

  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 1 day

How often is data restored?

Data restoration is performed only when necessary, such as in the event of a system failure or incident.

Does BrioHR perform restoration tests?
